CABLE SYSTEM VCR OPERATION
Direct Cable Connection
When a direct cable connection is used as in figure C1, VCR operation requires no special procedures.
Setting VCR Channels For Cable
Due to the many channels available on Cable, programming channel memory will require patience.
Although the VCR is preset for channels 2 - 13 (air signals), the sequence of channels may be different
on cable. For example, channel 6 of the VCR may actually receive channel 28, as identified by the
station. Any VCR channel memory position can be programmed to select any channel. Please refer to the
section on presetting channel memory for details. (See page 20.)

Cable Connection Using Cable Box Only
Interconnect as in figure C2.
1. Set the TV, Cable Box, and VCR power ON. Select a channel on the Cable Box.
2. Set the VCR/TV switch to the VCR position, and set the channel selector of the TV to the Video
channel output by the VCR (CH 3/4 setting on RF modulator).
3. Using Channel Up/Down on the VCR, select the channel used for Cable Box output to the TV. You
should be able to view the Cable Box output in only one VCR channel setting. If you are correctly set to
the Cable Box, changing the channel setting of the VCR to any other channel will provide only a snowy
picture. If no picture is obtained, re-check your connections and TV tuning to the VCR output channel.
Setting TV tuning to view the VCR output is often easiest by playing a pre-recorded tape.
The VCR should now be set to tune the Cable Box. To record from the Cable Box, the Cable Box must be
turned ON. If the Cable Box is used to control TV power, and you do not wish to have the TV on during
Recording or Timer Recording, turn the TV OFF with the power switch on the TV. If the Cable Box
controls the TV volume using a Remote Control, the volume setting must be set to normal.
Timer Recording: When you program the Timer for unattended recording, set the VCR to select the VCR
channel used to view the Cable Box.
The same VCR channel setting must be used for all timer programs. The VCR is unable to control
channel selection when it is used with the Cable Box. The VCR can only select the Cable Box or no
picture.
Before leaving the VCR to perform Timer Recording, be sure to activate the timer mode, set the Cable
Box power ON, and set the channel on the Cable Box to the channel you want to record.
